Re: 76 K5 Chalet Paint Code?

Aha, having never seen a russet polly paint sample, I was assuming it was the pastel burnt orange color and not the maroon metalflake accent color version. If that's so, I'll stand corrected. Can you post a photo of the SPID in the glovebox, or PM a photo of it to me so I can see if I have the VIN in my mega-spreadsheet? Any idea of where the camper unit went or who the prior owner(s) were, and/or any old docs come with the rig for its prior history? All of that kind of stuff is 'geneology' that sometimes helps me pair up what I find with older references that I might have.

Chalets & the GMC Casa Grandes were not much more than ordinary '76 / '77 Blazers / Jimmys (allegedly with somewhat more heavy duty springs) with the camper unit in place of the standard cap, bolted down via the cap's holes in the bedsides and down through the dinette into the truck frame.
